Fantastic news. Kallan has coped really well with this round of chemo. He has not vomitted at all. Darren says that he is 1000% better than last time. He still feels off but a huge improvement on last time.

Kallan has been given a different anti-nausea drug, along with his other ones. This is a new drug (only released within the last two weeks) and seems to be working wonders. Last time they lost count of how many times he vomitted within the first 24 hours. This time, nil.

The new anti nausea drug is a high dose one and can only be given once a day, thus the need for the others.

Kallan has managed to eat - toast only. At least it is something as last time he didn't eat for quite a few days.

He has been sleeping heaps and at one point woke and asked his school teacher for some work today - he must be feeling good or they are VERY GOOD drugs.
